Too Much to Bear, My Love Chapter 194

Tiffany went to Amelia’s bed and straightened the latter’s fringe. “Babe, are you awake? You gave me a shock yesterday.”

The oxygen mask had been removed from Amelia’s mouth, but she still looked pale with her chapped lips.

“You must’ve been worried.”

Tiffany placed the fruits she brought along on the ground as there were plenty of other gifts on the table. There was no more space for her stuff.

Shannon came to them and showed her concern. “Ms. Winters, do you feel better? Tiffany just told me you were in an accident, so I came with her to visit you.”

Amelia flashed a weak smile. “Ms. Shannon, thank you for visiting me.”

Shannon then placed the fruits she brought on the ground as well. Amelia turned to Olivia and said, “Mom, please get a chair for Ms. Shannon.”

Olivia dragged a chair over. “Have a seat. I’ll cut the fruits up for you.”

At once, Shannon waved her hand. “No need, Mrs. Clinton. You don’t have to go to all the trouble.”

A pleasant smile was hanging on Olivia’s lips as she said, “You’re Amelia’s friend, right? Don’t stand on ceremony. As you’re our guest, I should serve you some fruits.”

With that, she took the fruits and entered the washroom to wash them.

A flash of concern appeared in Shannon’s gaze. “Ms. Winters, you look really pale. Are you alright?”

Amelia shook her head to tell her not to worry. “I’m alright. I’ll get better after some rest.”

Shannon inclined her head and fell silent.

She wasn’t that close to Amelia as she had gotten to know the latter through Tiffany.

Instead, it was Amelia who broke the silence. “Have you had lunch?”

“We ate some before coming here. What about you?” asked Shannon.

“I took some soup earlier.” Something occurred to Amelia and her lips curved into a grin. “I’m craving meat now. It feels like I haven’t eaten meat for ages. Ugh, just thinking about me got me salivating!”

Both Tiffany and Shannon burst into giggles.

“Babe, you’ve just been operated on, so you won’t get to eat meat for some time. But upon your recovery, I’ll prepare a meat feast for you, alright?”

Amelia swallowed hard. “Tiff, I can’t eat meat now. So stop tempting me.”

Her words made both Tiffany and Shannon titter in delight again.

“Ms. Winters, I thought you’re a sexy and aloof woman, but turns out you have a hilarious side to you, huh?” teased Shannon as she wiped her tears of joy away.

Tiffany didn’t forget to chime in, “Shannon, she might seem like a seductive vixen, but she’s actually cuckoo. Only those who are close to her get to see this side of her. She’s always aloof to others. When you get to know her better, you’ll find out how silly she is. I can’t help but tease her.”

Amelia shot Tiffany an exasperated glance as Shannon laughed her heart out.

When Olivia came out with a plate of fruits, she saw them chattering happily. She smiled and went over to them. “Sounds like you’re having a fun time. What are you chatting about?”

Shannon covered her stomach that hurt from laughing too much and blurted out, “Tiffany said Ms. Winters is a cuckoo and told me not to be fooled by her looks.”

Olivia placed the plate on the table and gestured for them to eat the fruits.

Affected by Olivia’s warmth, Shannon gradually relaxed. She picked a piece of fruit and took a bite. “Mrs. Clinton, do you think Ms. Winters is a cuckoo?”

Olivia took one look at Amelia and beamed. “Amelia’s a considerate and kind young lady. She might look like a sexy and promiscuous woman at first sight, and to be honest, when Oscar wanted to marry her back then, I was worried. I wanted him to marry an obedient wife, so Amelia’s looks didn’t make the cut. But the more time I spent with her, the more I adored her. Her most likable trait is that she’s filial. I’m glad to have her as my daughter-in-law.”

Upon hearing that, color returned to Amelia’s face slowly.

Envy shone in Shannon’s gaze. “Mrs. Clinton, you’re gorgeous, elegant, and nice. Ms. Winters is lucky to have you as her mother-in-law. I hope my future mother-in-law is half as nice as you.”

Olivia gave Amelia a slice of apple. “Amelia, you can only eat a little.”

After Amelia took a bite, Olivia gave a half-smile. “Shannon, right?”

Shannon nodded, feeling flattered.

Olivia proceeded to share her opinion. “Shannon, I don’t agree with your words. Actually, it isn’t as complicated as you think. Those mother-in-law and daughter-in-law fights you see on TV are mostly made-up. Most moms want their sons to have a blissful life with their wives. Why will they be happy to

see their sons fighting with their wives? Of course, there are some moms who want to control their sons and they’ll treat their daughter-in-law as enemies. That’s the minority, though. You’re pretty and amiable, so your mother-in-law will surely be the same.”

Shannon gave her a thumbs up. “Mrs. Clinton, I can’t believe you’re this understanding. If you’re thirty years younger, and I’m a man, I’ll definitely court you.” She didn’t conceal her admiration for Olivia.

Olivia burst out laughing at her comment.

It was a heartwarming session in the ward.

Tiffany gave Shannon a slight push and joked, “Shannon, stop it. Even if Mrs. Clinton is thirty years younger, she still belongs to Mr. Clinton. You’re no match for him.”

The sounds of lighthearted laughter resonated in the ward.

Amelia chuckled as she lay in her bed.

“Tiffany, why are you still calling me Mrs. Clinton?” asked Olivia. “You should be calling me Aunt Olivia.”

At her words, Shannon gave Tiffany a baffled look.

Tiffany glanced at Amelia shyly. To her surprise, the latter nodded at her encouragingly.

“Tiff, Mom told me she wants to take you as her goddaughter. It’s a good thing, so you should say yes,” urged Amelia.

Now, Tiffany had no reason to reject the offer.

Olivia took her hand and patted it gently. “Tiffany, don’t feel pressured to say yes. I’m sincere in wanting to become your godmother. You’re Amelia’s friend, and I adore you, too. If you don’t want me to hold a party to introduce you to everyone, we can do it in private then. I shall introduce you to my friends in

the corporate world sometime later. You’re a freelance writer, so I can introduce you to bigger publishing companies out there. You have the potential to become a best-selling author in Chanaea!”

Before Tiffany could reply, Shannon’s excited voice rang out. “Tiffany, you should thank Mrs. Clinton! Not everyone gets the chance to be a best-selling author. You’re lucky to be talented and appreciated by your benefactor. Many authors are talented but lack the chance to shine. Tiffany, you need to grab the chance before it slips away!”

Shaking Tiffany’s hand enthusiastically, she added, “If you’re going to be a best-selling author, I’ll be your only editor!”

Tiffany was amused by her reaction.

Amelia chimed in, “Mom, don’t give Tiff too much pressure. If she doesn’t want to be your goddaughter, you should forget it then. She might be a famous author, but she spends most of her time at home. If she becomes the Clintons’ goddaughter, it might bring her unwanted attraction. Some nasty people might even start criticizing her. I don’t want this to end in a disaster.”

After thinking about it, Olivia nodded in agreement. “Seems like I was being too hasty. Alright, I’ll stop talking about it. But Tiffany, I’ll be waiting for you to call me Aunt Olivia.”

Hearing that, Tiffany heave a sigh of relief inwardly.

Half an hour later, Shannon excused herself as she had to return to work. Tiffany remained to accompany Amelia.

Olivia told her, “Tiffany, stay here with Amelia. I need to go back home. Oscar will be here soon.”

“Mrs. Clinton, you can leave if you have something on. I’ve already taken a few days off, so I can take care of Amelia here,” said Tiffany.

“Alright, then. Amelia, I’m going home. If you crave anything, give me a call. I’ll be back later,” Olivia told her.

“Okay, stay safe, Mom.”

Olivia inclined her head and left with her bag in hand.

After seeing Olivia off, Tiffany returned to her seat beside the bed. “Babe, Mrs. Clinton adores you.”

Amelia nodded without saying anything.

Grabbing her hand, Tiffany advised earnestly, “Babe, you’ve barely survived the ordeal. Clearly, Oscar has feelings for you. So don’t push him away like a fool. If you love him, hold on to him. Now that your baby is here, you’re a happy family of three. You don’t have to overthink things. I don’t want to see you backing off when Cassie kicks up a fuss again.”

Amelia’s gaze was blazing with happiness. “As long as Oscar remains by my side, I won’t leave him.”

Tiffany was relieved to hear that.

“Don’t worry. When you were in the operating room, I saw how grim Oscar’s expression was. I’m a freelance writer, so I know how the male and female lead think. I’m certain he loves you. You should have a serious discussion with him after this,” Tiffany suggested. NôvelDrama.Org owns all content.

Amelia shot her an obliging nod.

Pleased, Tiffany proceeded to inquire, “Anyway, where is Oscar? Don’t tell me he had let down his guard after you woke up?”

“He received a phone call and had to return to his office to sign an urgent document. I think he’ll be back soon.”

Tiffany pursed her lips in annoyance. “What a lame excuse. He’d better be signing an urgent document now.”

“Why are you so biased against him? I thought he only viewed me as a toy in the past, but after what he did for me for the past few days, I’m certain he won’t lie to me. No, it’s more like he won’t go to the hassle of lying to me.” A blissful smile lit up Amelia’s lips at the mention of Oscar.

Tiffany shuddered in disgust. “Babe, your words sound so corny.”

The smile on Amelia’s lips remained.
